Coffee, Tea, and Gin Fundraiser
Donation protected
From deep in the dark, tremulous mire of non-Euclidian dreamscapes and grasping tentacles, 20th century American writer H.P. Lovecraft’s impact on modern media is almost incalculable. From tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons, to video games like Bloodborne, to media darlings like Stranger Things, Lovecraft has shaped the way that we see fear as the “Father of Cosmic Horror” – the terror of coming face to face with the utterly unfathomable, and the existential dread in knowing you are completely insignificant amongst the vast and terrible cosmos.
He was also so racist he named his beloved black cat ******-Man.
This is a story of legacy and intention, of context and consequences, and of how much we’re willing to swallow.

Hello! My name is Casey Alcoser, and I'm the creator of Coffee, Tea, and Gin - it's truly been a labor of Lovecraft! Originally conceived of in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic halted its progress toward Fringe that year. But now, the time has come, and with your generous support, I couldn't be more excited to share this Weird Tale with you! I look forward to seeing you there!
